Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.'"

Chapter 2: The Life Like Lying Mask

I couldn't get one ounce of sleep that night. Well, technically afternoon and morning; but I was completely restless. So many thoughts racing through my head, so many questions which still didn't have any answers.

Why is Kaname killing off Purebloods?

Where was he?

Why of all people, did Zero offer his blood to me?

Did he still hate me?

Can I really handle the night class?

Theses were only the few of questions that run through my head. It felt as if any moment my head would explode, so I smashed my pillow over my head. Then out of know where, it hits me. My instincts quickly kick in, and the most horrible and gut wrenching thirst begins to burn down my throat, making me grimace every couple of seconds. Even Zero's blood was not enough; for the terrifying monster that lived inside of me always craved more. It was hard to be around the day class students at twilight; especially since I had been trying my hardest to avoid taking blood tablets. Something about them just didn't seem right, even though now they tasted so much better. Its just something about them... tasted a little off to me. I didn't dare say this in the presence of Sara-sama's. Because for some unknown reason... I was already frightened by her. She wore a beautiful face of eternal youth... but some how it looked like a mask. Which could only mean... she was hiding something.

My thirst was unbearable, so I finally decided to go down to the kitchen to calm me down. I was sure that most of the students were probably asleep; plus none of the students really used the kitchen. For many of them, the taste of human food was extremely revolting. But even after my transformation as a vampire, I still had a sweet tooth. I yanked open the fridge door, hoping I could find something to cool down the blazing fire that ran down my throat. I grabbed the first carton of some liquid I saw in the fridge, and quickly chugged it down from the bottle, without even taking a glance at what it was.

...

Ew..

Eww...

This is disgusting!

I quickly run to the opposite side of the kitchen to where the sink is, grabbing the faucet hose to rinse out the horrible taste. Trying my best to get the horrible liquid out of my mouth.

"So I'm guessing you don't like the taste of Sapporo?" Said a soft beautiful voice from behind me.

I quickly whirl around, to see Maria Kurenai. She wears a long white silky bath robe, with some odd blue animal scattered across it. The robe reaches down to her scrawny knee's, and she wears what seems to be plush white slippers. I notice there is a dark bruise on her knee cap, along with a couple of other scrapes and scratches. She assumes I'm wondering whats is on her bath robe, giving me a small smile.

"Do you like my Doraemon robe?" She giggled, "When I was a little girl that was my most favorite T.V. show! On my 1oth birthday my aunt gave me this robe, knowing my love for the cartoon. I was much to small for the robe at the time, so I am very happy that it now fits me so I can to wear it."

I look at her blankly, confused.

Doraemon? Isn't she a little to old for that?

She ignores my expression.

"So do you like to drink much Yuki-sama?" She ask.

I look at her, still completely loss.

"You do know what Sapporo is right, Yuki-sama?" She asked surprise.

"Ehh, well I was a really thirsty for a drink sooo... I dint really check what it was, and uh... Anyways! Whats Sapporo? I asked scratching my head, clearly embarrassed.

She giggled, that soft little girl giggle she has been doing since she attended the academy.

"Why Yuuki-sama, Sapporo is beer of course! Its alcohol."

I feel the blood drain from my face.

B-Be-Beer?

I quickly sprint back to the sink, vomiting all of the Sapporo right back into the sink.

"Oh dear, do you not like beer, Yuki-sama?" She asked concerned.

I turn my face back to her, walking to the entrance of the kitchen.

"Honestly, I hate all alcohol. I think its the most absolute vile, and-" but I don't finish my speech as I slip on the some of the Sapporo I accidentally spilled on the floor. I fall backwards onto the tile, letting out a painful groan.

Why me?

"Yuuki-sama! Are you alright?" cries Maria, slowly helping me up.

And just like before, out of know where... it hits me. This time worst, as If my entire body is on fire with thirst. I glance up at Maria as she helps me, and my eyes slowly trail down to her neck. I feel her blood circulating through out her veins, leading back and from her heart as she helps me up. Her blood is some what sick, but still full of nutrients and oxygen traveling its way to the heart. I feel my own heart beat faster, as her beautiful pale neck draws me in. How delicious she must be... How wonderful it would feel to sink my fangs into her flawless kneck...

...

...No

I quickly jerk away from her, afraid that my temptations would most likely get the best of me. I hold myself tightly, breathing hard from the constant battle with the monster inside me.

"Yuuki-sama? Are you al-" But I don't hear the rest, as I am already sprinting out of the kitchen back to my room. I immediately lock the door, slumping up against the wall, withering in pain. I try hard for the thirst to slowly fade away, but it only continues to get worst. I try even harder than before to let all my unanswered questions and thoughts cloud my head, so that the aching pain in my throat would be less bearable.

Like Why would some one put Sapporo in the fridge?

Was one of the night class students a alcoholic?

Were they trying to resist blood by drinking beer?

My thoughts didn't help me in the slightest to calm me down, but just rattled me even more. I get up and go to my white ironed dresser, opening the bottom drawer. I pull out the full case of blood tablets Aido recently gave me. I flip open the lid, and look inside at all the little tablets.

Should I? I ask myself.

...No

I go to the huge fire place near my own private bath room, and begin to throw logs into the pit. I light at least 3 matches and throw it into the fireplace, watching as the fire begins to lick and scorch the logs. I throw in the case of blood tablets, and stare at the fire for a couple moments. Then out of know where...

The fire explodes into huge flames; nearly reaching me, and growing taller and taller up the up the chimney. I fall backwards, staring in shock and in terror as the flames rage higher and higher. I get up and slowly take 2 steps backwards away from the fire place, but stop dead in my tracks as I look closer at it. The flames were actually shaping a terrifying face... And it came to me instantly.

Because I had once seen that face, after my transformation as a vampire. When I was drinking Kaname's blood, I saw a terrifying monster. And here it was again, formed in flames still and as terrifying as I last remembered it. I took a big gulp, and spoke.

"Wha-What d-do Yo-you wan-want from m-m-me?" I chocked out in a stutter.

The flamed engulfed monster opened its mouth to speak. It spoke a unfamiliar language that I never heard of, the only thing I caught was "Awashima". It sounded vaguely familiar... But as soon as it finished what it said, the flames quickly extinguish. I don't know how long I stared at the fire place, but before I knew it Aido was knocking on my door.

"Hey, wake up Yuuki Cross. Get dressed, we have class soon. Be ready" He said with a muffled yawn outside my door. I finally move as I hear the sound of his foot steps moving away from my room, probably to head back to his own dorm. I walk over to my window near my bed and open the drapes. I gaze outside the window, but stare at absolutely nothing.

...

Sara...

...I knew she wore a mask...
